Kudos to the indomitable Alice Tibbetts and the courageous, compassionate @amoridesabike.bsky.social at BikeMN.

I'd also like to see mandatory re-testing every five years when drivers renew their license. There were no bike lanes or green pedestrian crossings or multimodal roads when I got my license.

So cool, on so many levels. If you don't have NYT access, Minneapolis is ranked No. 2. www.nytimes.com/athletic/680...

Didn’t think I’d be saying this with a conservative super-majority on the High Court. THANK YOU for refusing to hear a challenge to same-sex marriage. 🌷

Kaohly Herr did show up in my Merriam Park neighborhood. So did Yan Chen. No other STP mayoral candidate did.

You can’t help but notice the eerie parallels to the outrageous conduct of the Usurper of Uptown demanding that the little people pedal her around town.

What happened in Hastings was a preventable tragedy &no electric assist bikes (e-bikes) were involved. Thank you to KARE 11 for being the first media organization to actually delve into the fact that the vehicle that hit &harmed Janet Stotko was & is illegal to purchase &operate in Minnesota.

I like the pink!

“Booze is terrific because it instantly makes you feel in a different space.” Yes, and it works for a while, until you recognize that it no longer serves you. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

The food bank where I volunteer has lost funding for feminine hygiene products. So, in addition to FOOD, consider donating tampons and sanitary pads of all sizes. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

True enough, I was surrounded mostly by white people at No Kings in Minneapolis on Saturday: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Diane Keaton was quirky and lovable but made of steel — and her indelible roles in the 1970s made her one of the New Hollywood greats. More: www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

The Student Housing Overlay District aimed to maintain balance in a neighborhood where landlords were buying SF houses and duplexes near campus for students -- and then failing to deal with the repercussions. I became director of neighborhood relations at UST two years after the Overlay was enacted.

A’ja is impressive and fun to watch, but she’s worn her crown. 👑 I wanted Phee!

Fun to write a feature on my hometown! 🚴‍♀️

Heading west this Sunday, to Hopkins on new & improved cycling infrastructure.

Absolute joy pulling together the near comprehensive history of the best k-8 bike/ped educational curriculum in the country. @amygage.bsky.social knocked it out of the park on this one.

Back in the day it was “no bra” getting attention. Just wear what you can move in — the motto for those of us too old to care. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/f...

Pro-choice grandma! Still wearing my T-shirt from the Planned Parenthood booth at the State Fair.

Here’s the source: www.wbur.org/onpoint/2025...

“It’s easier to build strong boys than rebuild broken men.” Heard on @npr.org in a story about how the percentage of male elementary school teachers has dropped to 23%.

I couldn't be happier that @cmiriam.bsky.social will succeed me as managing editor at @streets.mn. She is uniquely positioned to broaden our scope and to diversify our readership and contributor base.

“Much-needed denser housing,” but for whom? These properties are priced per bedroom and marketed to students. So let’s call them what they are and not pretend they’re bringing affordable housing (or more diversity) to Merriam Park.

Next Wednesday!

All great. But “tune in,” where? How many streaming services do I have to buy to watch professional women’s basketball?

Big night! Phee is back. 🏀

I love this! Writing is not obsolete!

Thanks to @bikemn.bsky.social for all their work to make this possible!

Thank you, @coleinmidway.bsky.social, for laying out solutions to real-world challenges. Those of us who can choose to drive can help by choosing to ride transit.

Five days left to see the transformative production of “Cabaret” at the Guthrie. Rush seats (affordable) may be all that’s left. Pre-WWII Berlin is stunningly relevant.

2,000 eligible voters in the Ward 4 precinct where I’m an election judge, and we’re going to be happy if 300 people turn out. If you claim to value democracy, show up!

None of this is true anymore.

Her strong stance on climate action — and what is transit if not that? — merits this endorsement from @movemnaction.bsky.social

Name that tune! Who recognizes the lyric in this headline? And where is it from?

What an honor it has been to work with the principled, forward thinking and really fun volunteers who make up @streets.mn. Thank you for this opportunity.

I’d say, just vote for her. Period. That’s what I plan to do.

Happy to be door-knocking for @mollycoleman.bsky.social and talking up housing for all, more reliable mass transit and safer (and more!) bicycling infrastructure.

Note the location change for our annual @streets.mn picnic on Saturday, August 2. Details here: streets.mn/2025/07/19/s...

We laud "car-free" at @streets.mn, but we don't always say why -- beyond the obvious of climate. New contributor Ilse Griffin (who works at @bikemn.bsky.social) goes a step further, arguing that car culture literally drives our days.

Crapping on bicycle funding is the laziest possible critique of government, probably why so many people rely on it. There are so very many more wasteful transportation subsidies. www.startribune.com/ramstad-note...

On this -- and, actually, all things #urbanism -- I take @blindeke.bsky.social's word for it. I'm proud of how thoroughly we've covered this issue at @streets.mn.

Pretty chill hospital! Let me bring my bike in to see my new grandson, Arthur.

If we all pitched in — on any number of environmental initiatives — the planet would be a cleaner, healthier place.

I'm attending Molly Coleman for Ward 4's event, “Doorknock with Molly Coleman for Ward 4” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/mollyforward...

This is what I want for Summit Avenue. Lovely day to be out enjoying our biking infrastructure by Como Park.

Come to Streets.mn’s Summer Events!: https://streets.mn/2025/07/19/summer-events-streets-mn/ Join the Streets.mn community for happy hour on July 24 and our annual picnic on August 2. See you there!

Would you believe this is the middle of the city? Mears Park in downtown St. Paul.

This is exactly why I support @mollycoleman.bsky.social for StP Ward 4. She has a clear grasp of our city's housing crisis and a focused & effective plan to fix it.

This didn’t happen decades ago when I was an athletic girl, and cheerleading was the only competitive option. Hooray, @wnba.com!
